modification, maintenance, or adjustment work.
•Perform maintenance work, modifications, and attachments
outside the danger zone.
•During all work, secure the system against accidental start-up.
•Do not reach into the open mechanical parts of the clamping
ring holder.
•All assembly, modifications and disassembly must be
performed by trained personnel.
Maintenance instructions
The maintenance and servicing intervals must always be complied
with. The intervals indicated refer to a standard working
environment. Operating the gripper in an environment in which it
is subjected to abrasive dusts or corrosive and/or aggressive
vapours and/or liquids requires the prior consent of SCHUNK.
